I have been doing it now for about 8 months straight. Here's what I've been laboring on: http://clovercontent.com http://clovercontent.com - Use every spare moment you can find to work on your startup. - If you're married, don't neglect your wife/husband. Make time for what's truly important. - Stay up late, but don't forgo sleep. - Slim down your feature set and only do what's absolutely necessary. - Lock yourself away in a private area so you can get into the zone. - DON'T USE CREDIT. If you can't afford something (hosting, etc.) wait until you can. Start your company without debt. - Get friends and family to test your software. There's no better QA department than your spouse. Who could be more critical than the person you married. - Sometimes you won't be able to work on your project for weeks. Don't sweat it. Wait it out and keep focused. Come back to it. - Stay focused on completing the software, no matter what problems come up. You can complete it. You will mentally fight your own self telling you to quite. That's the hardest part. - The question "why am I doing this?" will come up in your internal monolgue at least 5 times a day. You have to really want it to combat your own doubt.
